Mike Axisa of CBS Sports predicts that San Diego will make a trade with the Baltimore Orioles to land pitcher Zach Eflin and outfielder Cedric Mullins. " I just know the Orioles are likely to move their veteran rentals, Eflin and Mullins included, and to never bet against Padres GM A.J. Preller making a big trade," Axisa wrote.
